procurement issues. Before being transported to the Poonamallee depot, the train will undergo static testing at the Sri City facility. The train will be initially tested on the Poonamallee-Porur stretch of Corridor 4, following the completion of viaduct construction, expected within five months. Operations along this corridor are set to begin by late next year. After arrival, the train will undergo a series of testing procedures including assembly, system checks, and trials on the designated track. Equipped with advanced safety features and technology, the driverless train is expected to offer a smoother and faster travel experience.
